Attachment B - Sample Authorized Distributor Letter_36C24E27Q0005.docx

This is a sample Authorized Distributor Letter (ADL) template for the Medical/Surgical Prime Vendor (MSPV) Supplies Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) program administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The letter certifies that an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) authorizes a reseller/supplier to distribute the OEM's products to the VA's Veterans Health Administration for acquisition of consumable commodities included on the MSPV Product List. The OEM guarantees that distributed products are safe, not counterfeit or gray market items, properly stored, and covered by transferred warranties and service agreements honored by the OEM. The OEM further authorizes the distributor to fulfill warranty, service, and preventive maintenance obligations on the OEM's behalf. The ADL remains effective for the duration of the awarded BPA or until rescinded by the OEM, whichever occurs first.

This is a template document used to establish authorized distribution relationships for solicitation 36C24E27Q0005, a tiered evaluation RFQ for reprocessed non-critical single-use devices with evaluation priority given to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, HUBZone small businesses, and 8(a) participants before large business concerns. Vendors responding to this MSPV Program solicitation must provide ADLs from manufacturers for any products they intend to supply through the resulting BPA.
